Concert Choir

The Concert Choir is our most select choral ensemble and requires an audition to participate.
It achieved international recognition under the direction of the late Árpád Darázs
and continues the tradition of excellence under the direction of Larry Wyatt.

The prestigious Concert Choir, directed by Larry Wyatt, has performed both near and far, performing abroad in such countries as Spain, Italy
and Austria.

This ensemble meets 4.5 hours per week and tours during the weekend before Thanksgiving
and sometimes during spring break. Foreign tours occur during the break between semesters
or during spring break.

Our performances have included:

One of 17 university ensembles selected to perform on the Mozart Bicentennial “Masses
in Concert” series in Alice Tully Hall of Lincoln Center.

Performed J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion for the Southern Division Convention of the
American Choral Directors Association.

Choir-in-residence for the Classical Music Seminar in Eisenstadt, Austria.

Performed Handel’s Messiah in Spain in a series of concerts.

Toured Germany and the Czech Republic, performing in the Thomaskirche at Leipzig,
the church served by J.S. Bach during the latter part of his life.

Selected members of the choir, along with the Left Bank Jazz Band, traveled to London
and Paris to perform selections from the Sacred Concerts by Duke Ellington.
